2014 Grammys!

After watching the 2014 Grammys, I have truely begun to be PROUD of being a Kiwi. Lorde's performance was incredible and her outfit was so simple yet cool. I love how she didn't go completely dark for her performance outfit, and injected it with the white top. Dark lips with this looks gorgeous, as always. 

Colbie Caillat at the 2014 Grammys... She wears an Ezra Santos dress and Jimmy Choo shoes. I love the style and cut of this dress. The textured feathers on it loks amazing and the colour suits her really well. The subtle hint of skin through the top just adds to the uniqueness. 

Kacey Musgraves wearing a Armani Prive ruffled dress on the red carpet at the Grammys. This is another of my favourite looks of the evening, as I am obsessed with ruffles and the light fabric makes the entire outfit look angelic. The hair and makeup also compliment the dress which shows how she is able to pull this off.

Leaving the best till last is Katy Perry in this Valentino dress. This would have to be my favourite of all the looks on the red carpet. People can say that she took the 'dress code' too literally with the music note style. But I think she really pulled it off . The hairstyle really complimented the garment too, in a subtle way

DIY Date

So to begin my 2014 DIY year, I decided to create some totally awesome jewelry that I have been meaning to make for probably a year now. The first and third photos show Hex-nut bracelets, which are just hex-nuts plaited into ribbon. The other two photos are of safety pin bracelets, with beads off different colours threaded onto safety pins. Obviously, the ideas were not my own, (found them off Pinterest) but I have played around a bit with the colours :) Enjoy!

2013 Projects

So these are a couple of my favourite garments I created last year... 

Hammerpants made in under 2 days and $40 :)

At the start of August 2013, I had my last high school ball so I created this dress for the event. I also entered it into the Northland Bernina Fashion Awards in the Student Evening Wear category. 

This is probably my favourite design that I have made ever!  The skirt is from a navy blue premium faille fabric, which is the same as the ball dress, and the top is a goldy white colour that I have painted dots onto. The chain makes up the halterneck which is then padlocked together at the back! I wore this to the World of Wearable Arts show in Wellington last year and also to the senior prize giving and Graduation Dinner at my school.
